So I just played a round on a team that did pretty poorly. Many times we were getting spawn camped and at least 8 times I died seconds after spawning. This is pretty frustrating if you're using a dropsuit and gear bought with AUR, its actually the reason I won't be buying a anymore gear that can be lost with AUR.

Just in my opinion, I'm not gonna spend real money on items I can easily lose in 5 seconds without even having a chance to use them.

Side note, losing items every time I die is really getting old.

That's the solution for me I agree, but you're missing the point of all this. CCP needs people to buy AUR for the game to survive, and if I don't want to use AUR items they're going to sell less AUR, thus risk not making enough money on the game. So even though there are solutions for me it doesn't help Dust succeed, hence my feedback.

You guys are all missing the point of my post. I'm simply trying to tell CCP they're discouraging me from buying AUR. That's really it

I can see the skill boosters turning into the Dust's PLEX.

player 1:buy skill booster, sell for isk
player 2: buy booster with isk

I think buying a one time "blank" of the particular level of suit you are wearing that you can then paint and make all of your suits of that level that color would sell much better than what they have now.

They can then even sell different accessories and kits for decorating.

Where they are going to make money is the skill boosters, when you get one and it runs out, the reduced skill point gain is almost painful.

Don't wear expensive stuff if you're playing ambush. Don't spawn into any fitting unless you're prepared to lose it.

If you used the AUR gear in ambush and died two seconds later, it's your fault--not that you died, but that you died in expensive gear.

Hell, I'm not going to bother using expensive stuff unless it's in a real Serious Business (TM) battle over territory or something where the outcome matters.

no its f2p you chose to buy the AUR stuff, AUR stuff should not be better at all.

Yeah, I think of it basically as an optional monthly fee.

1: yes spawn camping happens but not that often. I rarely get shot when spawning.
2: if you see that your getting spawn camped, stop using the expensive gear or aur gear while it's happening. switch back once they have been killed
3: What is discouraging you from buying aur gear is your lack of skills to stay alive. You dieing often is all on you. don't use the expensive stuff or aur gear till you get better at playing. It's like buying a ferrari as a first car for a 16 year old who never drove before. looks pretty but it's not gonna last long.
